This course helped me better understand process 'flows' by breaking down the approval process into easily understandable components. Laura gives a thorough overview of the Power Automate main interface and some of the most used templates, including info on which ones you can and cannot customize. She uses real world scenarios and hands on activities to teach you how to start, configure, and run an actual workflow which is very helpful. Can't wait to take the advanced course!
